We focus on the β€œdemocratizing potential” of the internet, but we can’t forget the anti-democratic roots that still impact us today.

@malkiadevichcyril.bsky.social explains how to scrutinize media practices to ensure our communities & narratives are centered.

Visionary strategist @malkiadevichcyril.bsky.social
helps open up #NPS with some big picture narrative strategy for building a winning movement in an age of rising fascism:

β€œWherever there is a wedge we will build a bridge. Wherever the Right had built a bridge, we will build a wedge.” πŸ’₯

"Theirs is a death cult. We believe in living. We can build belonging, radicalize our people at the site of loss. Collective grief is a powerful unifier. Grief is a solidarity strategy." <3

Grief Belongs in Social Movements. Can We Embrace It? A Black activist reflects on intergenerational trauma, community, and coming to terms with death in movement building.

I've been thinking about this piece by @malkiadevichcyril.bsky.social a lot lately. It can be hard to recognize & care for grief in ourselves and others, but it's everywhere right now as things break all around us.

"Grounded grief is a vaccine against the morbid conditions bred by white supremacy."

It is our mandate and responsibility to wage fights that weaken the power of the media & tech industry and strengthen the power and capacity of the media justice movement.
